lpv:translated text	"Question No 10 by Hélène Goudin () The Swedish media reported on 14 October 2005 that the UK Defence Minister, John Reid, had publicly stated that the Member States should increase their respective funding for defence. According to the same media, the Defence Minister asserted that a reasonable allocation for Member States' defence budgets is approximately 2.5% of GDP, which corresponds to the UK's defence budget. Last year, Sweden's defence spending amounted to 1.7% of its GDP. Is it the Presidency's collective view that Member States should endeavour to bring their defence spending into line with the UK's? Does the Presidency consider that Member States such as Sweden, which spends less than 2% of its GDP on defence, should increase their defence budgets? Does the Presidency consider that this question should primarily be a common EU concern or that it should be entirely up to the Member States to judge what level of GDP it is appropriate to allocate to defence?"@en1
